Nowadays, it is possible to access plenty of information on the internet. The studies proposed on this page take advantage of this access to show that astrology can not be considered as a belief without real foundation.
Each document gives access to the data that led to its writing and thus offers the possibility to invalidate its results. Annexes are also added for verification of calculated values.
I would like to thank Mr. Vincent Godbout (Mentalo) who, by his insightful suggestions, helped to add impact and rigor to these documents.

CSI Skeptical Analysis on Chess and Sports Studies
A CSI member, working independently, spent some time to evaluate these studies. Although this is not formally a CSI project, the text provides a good indication of the rigor required by skeptics for this type of research. On the other hand, a well-conducted study can considerably reduce the scope of their arguments.
